Rachel Riley looks stunning on Countdown in figure hugging floral dress

RACHEL Riley brought summer vibes back with a stunning floral frock on the latest episode of Countdown.

The blonde bombshell looked radiant as she graced screens during yesterday’s instalment of the Channel 4 quiz game.

She was on hosting duties alongside fellow Countdown resident Suzie Dent and special guest host Trevor McDonald.

Rachel looked elegant in the dress which featured a tropical floral pattern running across the fabric.

The red and pink detailing helped to brighten up the frock and enhanced its darker blue base colour.

Rachel’s blonde locks were styled in simple waves rolling down to her shoulders as she kept one side tucked behind her ear.

She completed her stunning look with a splash of simple make-up and minimal jewellery in order to keep the focus entirely on the impressive outfit.

Rachel was working alongside Trevor, who was standing in for regular host Colin Murray as part of a month long series of special episodes to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the programme.

Trevor is one of a number of specially chosen guest hosts who have been given the honour of hosting a week on the show.

Sitting in the famous hosting seat as well as Sir Trevor are Baroness Floella Benjamin, Reverend Richard Coles and Moira Stuart, who will all take it in turns to host a week of episodes each.

The stars will appear on the show alongside Rachel and Suzie as they celebrate the afternoon favourite’s iconic milestone. 

At the time of announcing the series of specials, the head of daytime and features for Channel 4, Jo Street, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming these national treasures to the Countdown hotseat to mark this 40th anniversary milestone and are equally delighted to have enticed the remarkable Sir Trevor McDonald back to Salford.

“Countdown is a much loved institution, and we couldn’t imagine Channel 4 without it. Here’s to the next 40!”
